Global Retail in Motion
Channel growth is being rewritten as shoppers move fluidly across formats while retailers face tougher trade conditions and structurally higher costs that keep value expectations high. In this 1RetailWorld session, Kantar retail insights leaders Rachel Dalton and Paida Mugudubi explain how the economics of each channel now matter as much as the customer journey across channels, and why winning plans pair channel specific levers with an experience that stays coherent end to end.
Value becomes a durable strategic constraint, not a temporary consumer mood. The discussion frames Europe as a market where value habits remain embedded, while the United States increasingly ties affordability to trust, quality, and frictionless execution. Private label and retail media emerge as long horizon systems that shape loyalty, margin structure, and brand investment, rather than isolated tactics that teams bolt onto annual plans.
Operating models shift as retailers manage stores like capital assets and measure performance with sharper unit economics. The session highlights the rise of profitability per square foot as a leadership metric that sits alongside inventory productivity, and it connects that shift to store reinvention, disciplined assortment choices, and omnichannel fulfillment that protects margin. The result is a practical growth view through 2030 that links where growth concentrates to how retailers and brands build execution discipline in an environment that rewards speed, clarity, and consistency.
